One will notice that one’s braid keeps getting bigger as one add hair to it. Keep braiding until one reaches the center of one head. Once one reaches the center, simply braid one’s hair upwards and away from the scalp. Do these until one reaches the tips of one’s hair.

5. Unclip the next 0.5 cm section of hair and weave this section into a thin cornrow. Do not add too much hair to it as one wants this cornrow to be thin. Once one reaches the center of one’s head, simply braid it till the very end.

6. Keep alternating between thick and thin cornrows until one has been able to braid all of one’s hair.
